Tokyo DisneySea(Tokyo DisneySea, Fantasy Springs)

We took the kids to Dongdi Ocean Park during winter break and they had a great time. It wasn't too crowded the day we went, so we queued for and went on a few rides, paying extra for each one. The kids were very happy. Prices at Dongdi are much cheaper than at Shangdi.

Waking up early can save you at least one DPA (Driving Per Day). On a weekday, the official forecast for visitor volume is 50,000-60,000 (the second highest level). The official opening time is 9:00 AM, but even arriving at 7:20 AM, we could only get the position shown in picture one (the starting point with flower beds). Security checks actually started at 8:30 AM, and entry was allowed at 8:40 AM. We didn't get in until 8:50 AM because of our position. Personal must-do recommendations (primarily thrill rides; the Wrath of the Gods and Indiana Jones were closed that day): 1. Tower of Terror (drop tower): We rushed in right after it opened, and afterwards felt it was worth a second ride, so we queued for over 100 minutes again that evening. 2. Soaring (a global version of the soaring rides in major theme parks, adding a olfactory experience, and the only ride where riders applaud after you finish!), recommended by DPA. The queue is long all day, generally over 180 minutes, so the closing time is relatively early. 3. Frozen (a must-do for fans, ranked number one), recommended by DPA. Although there's a single-person line, it wasn't open the day we went. The queue is still over 120 minutes all day, and even before 9 am when the park opened, it was already 200 minutes. Only after 6 pm might it be around 120 minutes, but that's not far from the closing time. 4. Toy Story (shooting, maximum engagement), my personal favorite. If I had known there was time to queue for the Tower of Terror at night, I should have gone for this first, saving a DPA. 5. Peter Pan, has a single-person line, no waiting, so we rode it twice, and even went a third time before closing. If you're not queuing alone, I recommend going before the park closes. 6. Journey to the Center of the Earth (only a very short thrill at the very end), but not thrilling enough to warrant the extra cost. The wait time is consistently long, and it's the first ride to close the queue that day. Another popular ride: Rapunzel – personally, I don't think it's worth the extra cost, and I don't understand why so many people queue. I suggest experiencing it 30-40 minutes before closing, then queue for Peter Pan's Flight across the street to complete both popular rides in the shortest time. Other ride experiences: 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea: The format is novel; if you get a PP ticket, go. If the queue is long, don't waste your time. Suitable for young children. Nemo and Friends: Suitable for young children. Princess Jasmine's Flying Carpet: Dumbo, suitable for young children. Carousel: Double-decker, queue is almost 5 minutes. It's not just the carousel that spins, but also Aladdin's lamp. Sinbad's Legendary Journey: You can rest here if you get tired. Little Fatty's Flying Fish Roller Coaster: A mini version of a fun roller coaster.

Tokyo Disneyland is truly an amazing place. The Ocean Park has many thrilling rides, such as "The Tower of Terror," an indoor roller coaster that's incredibly scary in the dark, and "Journey to the Center of the Earth," a high-speed descent that gets your heart racing. The food in the park is also great; the turkey legs are huge and taste amazing, and the food at the Sakura Restaurant is cute and delicious—reservations are necessary.

This place is definitely worth a visit. It is no exaggeration to say that it is a paradise for children. The service in Tokyo is really great. Whether you have been to Universal Studios or any other place, the Japanese service awareness is really worth learning. I brought a child under four years old. First of all, the entrance fee was free. Then the staff knew that it was the first time for the child to go there and gave a small gift, a handwritten commemorative sticker. Then other staff members were also very enthusiastic to squat down and interact with the children. The food and souvenirs are not expensive. If converted into RMB, they are cheaper than those in Shanghai. And the service is better. The overall evaluation is that it is worth a visit.

We took the train 🚄 to Disneyland early in the morning. Tokyo Disneyland is divided into park and ocean. This time we went to the ocean. We saw a globe 🌍 from a distance, which is the symbol of Disney Ocean. Not long after we entered, it was already half past ten. We watched the flower boat parade and Mickey’s dance performance. At noon, we had a hamburger from Mickey’s shop. At first, I thought the 🍔 in the park would not taste very good and the bread might be hard, but when I ate it, the bread felt soft and the patty was juicy, very similar to the taste of Burger King. The ocean park is actually very large. I didn’t finish it in a day, but the most fortunate thing was that I caught the light show and fireworks show after dinner 🤣

Coming back to Tokyo Disneyland Ocean in three years did not disappoint me either. In the past three years, no new recreational projects have been added, which just gives me a chance to take a leisurely stroll. This time, I picked up projects I hadn't tried, such as tower of terror, and Journey to the center of the earth. However, it is still recommended that more popular projects, such as tower of terror, Journey to the center of the earth, Indiana Jones, take fast passes, look at the interval of fast pass and take another one, so as to ensure that more projects can be played in a limited time. If possible, it is recommended to download the Tokyo Disney app, and you can observe the waiting time of each amusement project at any time. Because of show, I feel that Tokyo Disneyland Ocean will launch different shows at different times, so the show time is mainly based on the park notification, but the main Fantasmic is still there, but it will be cancelled due to weather reasons. Two years later, it will be the 20th anniversary of Tokyo Disney Ocean. I have experienced the atmosphere of Tokyo Disney's 35th anniversary. I hope I can come to Tokyo Disney Ocean again on the 20th anniversary and feel the incomparable warm atmosphere.

Sea is a good place for taking photos, and is more suitable for adults than Land. There are more exciting facilities than Land (there is a Chinese map, and those with height restrictions are generally more exciting) It was summer vacation when I went there, and there were a lot of people. Fortunately, Disney has free fast tickets. [How to get fast tickets] There will be a row of machines next to the rides with long queues. You can reserve fast tickets for a specific time by scanning the barcode on your ticket. (You cannot reserve different rides at the same time. Not every ride has fast tickets, but popular rides with long queues have them) [Food] There are expensive and cheap ones. The cheap restaurant we went to ordered pizza and pasta, which is about the same price as outside, and will not be more expensive than outside the park. [Popcorn ️] There are many carts selling popcorn in the park. There are many flavors that you can't see outside, such as curry, strawberry, chocolate, honey, etc. (Strawberry flavor is super delicious) You can buy a popcorn bucket with a Disney animation character, which can be hung around your neck with a lid. When you buy it, you can put it directly in it, which is very cute. Unfortunately I forgot to take pictures. [We went from downtown Tokyo, got off at Maihama Station and land, and then took the Disney Monorail to the sea in a few minutes. (The windows are all Mickey-shaped and super cute) If you want to play all the rides in the peak season, it may be difficult to play in one day. It's like entering another world. There are many beautiful places that will make you want to take pictures, and time will pass by inadvertently. [Scenery] ★★★★☆ There are Caribbean style, Islamic style, and European style. They are all beautiful, but it's easy to take pictures with people in the background. [Fun] ★★★★☆ Suitable for children and adults, but it may not be so ideal for people who want to play exciting rides. [Value for money] ★★★★★ Very good, although the fast ticket has a time limit, it is free.

There are huge crowds of people and it's extremely hot. Tokyo Disneyland has two parks, Land and Sea. You basically have to spend a whole day in each park. You can download the Tokyo Disneyland APP to grab an express pass. There are also new parks opening for the 40th anniversary.
